PARIS: WASHINGTON, JANUARY 25, 2013, SOURCE: AFPTV SOUNDBITE 1 Jeanne Monahan (woman), president, March for Life Education and Defense Fund (English, 15 sec): "We're all really marching to ask for the dignity of the human person to be protected in the United States. This is the largest civil rights protest in the world, and we need to make a mark. We need to stop the human rights abuse of abortion in our country. SOUNDBITE 2 Christina (woman), pro-life activist and mother of 11 children, aged 10 weeks to 21 years (English, 12 sec): For a woman's who's had a child to say that abortion is okay, is mind-boggling to me. You know, you know when life begins. You can feel it!" SOUNDBITE 3 Mark Hart (man), father of seven and pro-life activist (English, 18 sec) [on why he opposes the right to terminate a pregnancy in the case of rape and incest]: "God has loved that child from the very moment of his conception. And regardless of circumstances. I can give you many -- people throughout history, famous people -- that were products of rape, that were products of incest. Doesn't make their life any less important." - VAR of pro-life activists during rally - WS of protesters on the Mall --------------------
